Can from Beerdome. Black with a beige head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt, licorice, coffee and a little ash. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish with a little warming alcohol. Oily. 120925

Bière en canette métal. Robe noire profonde, mousse brune crémeuse mais assez fugace. Nez marqué par le café torréfié et une pointe de cacao. En bouche, l’attaque est dense et intense, avec des notes de malt grillé et de chocolat noir. Bel équilibre amer, mais la dégustation a manqué de fraîcheur : servie un peu trop chaude, elle aurait sans doute révélé davantage de vivacité et de précision.

Well balanced. The sweetness of vanilla feels very natural. Plenty of roasted bitter notes too though.

Clear dark brown to black, creamy beige head, stable, non adhesive. Aroma: lovely, lots and lots of chocolate, caramel, a hint of coffee, malty, sourish impression, some red currants and black cherries, dusty, vanilla touch, cookie dough. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: good roast, lots of chocolate, slightly salty, malty, coffee. Aftertaste: more roast, still a bit saline, sweet malts, caramel touch, grains, cow fodder.

TCBW2025. Pitch black colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is coffee, some mild chocolaty tones with a bit vanilla as well as some syrupy and mild alcohol tones. Flavour is pretty much consisting of the same elements as the aroma. Nice one, although a bit on the sweeter side of things.
